This is the first: in this world it will always be the blond leading the blind. TWIN PEAKS is a case study of great creativity getting gummed up by meddling TV executives and accountants taking more important decisions than directors. After a phenomenal first season, (against David Lynch's wishes) Laura Palmer's murder got solved in mid second season, effectively killing the impetus of the show. What was left, was a show that was too slow in finding a new direction, decelerating into vapid style and enjoying a huge cult following that is still going strong. I should know; I am a huge fan since the first time I laid eyes on Snoqualmie Falls.

This the second: your favorite childhood gum can never taste the same again. This OST reflects the shows decline in Season 2. It contains only a handful of original tunes; most tracks are reprises of Angelo Badalamenti's dreamy music. To TWIN PEAKS fans, this is a treasure chest full of timeless gems, bringing back memories of Maddy's misfortune and James' adventures. No unique tunes, though, and nothing to rival the original and timeless Love Theme.

And now for the third Truth: seek for the secret before the beginning.

RECOMMENDED!

This cd of Twin Peaks "Season Two Music And More" is GREAT! My only regret is that it does not include the acoustic guitar version of the main Twin Peaks theme, which was heard during the scene where Ben Horne is watching the old film of when he and his brother were kids at the dedication ceremony for the Great Northern. That is one of my favorite scenes from season two, and I was very disappointed that the music from that scene was left off of this cd.

It's been six years since I heard this incredible soundtrack mangled on the VHS release of the series, and even then I could detect its alternately innocent and dark gorgeousness shining through the horrendously warbly audio track. A decade and a half after Twin Peaks ended, six long years since I finished watching the show, and here we are. This is music that I have quite simply been yearning for for years. There is something about Twin Peaks that has created a condensed kind of nostalgia for series itself, the time in my life during which I watched it, and the people I watched it with, as well as something more, an unplaceable, deep and vivid longing for something that does not quite exist. Twin Peaks: Season Two Music has landed softly into my current life, not unlike a telegram from my six-years-ago self, and even with such magnificent tracks like Shelly, Audrey's Prayer, Harold's Theme, Josie and Truman, Hook Rug Dance, and Half Heart, I'm left with the sense of an intangible absence, one I suspect will never be filled after living ever so briefly in the staggeringly multidimensional world of Twin Peaks.

Angelo Badalamenti's moody sound canvas transports us once again to the town of Twin Peaks, and surrounds us with those beloved - if slightly crazy - characters. Immediately conjuring up images that were so specific to the series (I still harbor resentment toward ABC nearly 2 decades later for killing this show after their initial overkill promotion) it makes me "pine" for the days when we could tune in weekly for our fix of unique kitsch... The owls ARE what they seem on this great CD.

This is an amazing soundtrack. I got it the other day when we had a massive thunderstorm roll through town and listening to it with the sound of the rain pattering outside just added to the experience. it's not all from season two either! There's a few from season one mixed in for good measure.

Shelly and Audry's Prayer are my favorites.

And how about that hidden track? Has anyone been able to decipher it yet? I can make out a few words but that's all. Kinda creepy!

fantastic music
after so many years, it still creates a powerful mood and feeling, nevertheless maybe only for true fanatics

RECOMMENDED!

At long last, TP fans can finally listen to crystal clear and geniune recordings of the second series music that has been sitting on file for far too long. A bit like series two itself, which has only recently been released itself.

Anyone who watched in awe as the Horne brothers reminisced about Louise Dumbroiski dancing on her hook hug will simply beam as the music is included on here.

On first listen of this CD, you will be able to place particular scenes (or at least characters) associated with the various Badalamenti themes that were woven throughout the whole of the Twin Peaks experience.

A joy to listen to, guaranteed to make you smile if you watched Twin Peaks back in the day. My driving style has already improved by having this playing in the car!

For anyone out there who was or is a Twin Peaks fan, the second season soundtrack is for you. It is one of thoes CDs that you can put in, hit repeat and listen to all day long. Amazon.com has it for a reasonable price. That's what we need, good music, reasonabilly priced.

This was a real unexpected treat when it was announced on Angelo's myspace last year! The songs make it seem like I'm living in 1950's technicolor! If you liked any of the Twin Peaks sounds you'll dig this;or if you like Ange/Lynch scores give it a go! More on the lounge-jazz tip than dark ambient.
